Since I do not own an iPad, I do know a lot of your MacRumor users out there do. I was curious, can you access me.com from Safari or are they not allowing that on the iPad either? If someone could test it for me and if they're feeling really generous they could provide some screenshots of what does show up.

Since, as the previous poster already said it's an APPLE owned service (was www.mac.com) and of course the iPad would have full access... You certainly don't think Apple is using any flash on that site do you or would roll out a product that couldn't interact with it? Especially since it is one of the ways you can choose to sync many Apple products to all have the same contacts, appointments, etc.

Er, maybe because the iPhone / iPod touch is blocked from accessing the MobileMe website?
It's always annoyed me that you can't access the MobileMe site from an iPhone because there are some things you can only do from the site (such as renewing, upgrading, managing mail folders, setting rules, aliases, etc) and whilst it would make sense to allow access from the bigger iPad screen, it appears it may well not be possible

Wow... I stand fully corrected... Sorry I was just making normal assumptions that ... are very much wrong. Strange but somehow a small part of me doesn't exactly find this news so shocking after all...

Apologies for posting without checking...

Hey DaveGee, I'm very impressed. It takes a mature person to admit when he's made a mistake. I'm so tired of reading these threads with folks who can't seem to do that and what's worse, they attack instead of just admitting they were wrong. You're restoring my faith in these forums.

Well that's just lame, there's no reason to why you shouldn't be able to access it.

Thanks to everyone who checked for me, Apple does enjoy crippling their services.

If/When I do get an iPad I don't know if I'd want my e-mail setup for the Mail application simply so people won't be nosey and look through my stuff. I'd prefer just go to safari and check it that way.
